Adrian Leuenberger, member of BIL Group’s management board and head of wealth management commented: “At a time when many firms are retrenching from private banking and wealth management, we are making advances. Thierry is a talented and experienced individual, and a welcome addition to our management team as we seek to deepen our footprint in Switzerland and internationally. BIL Suisse is one of our most important offices and booking centres outside of Luxembourg, and the knowledge and capabilities we have built up gives us an excellent foundation for future expansion.”
Adrian Leuenberger added: “Over the last years, BIL Suisse, with its significant capital equity, has continued to pursue new markets and our Swiss team has demonstrated its commitment through times of new projects and tough economic conditions.”
